After being rejected from another restaurant we came here. The service was very friendly and they made us feel very welcomed. The food came out extremely quickly, and it was all fresh. We ordered the hot and cold Mezze and the family platter, all of which was delicious particularly the chicken and the hummus. Would definitely go back!

Best Turkish restaurant in London!! Absolutely LOVE their food, service and customer care! What a lovely place! The portions are also very generous for really affordable prices and I loved the Turkish tea and desert we got on the house! I recommend the sharing dishes! Please visit!

Really great place with a good selection quality Turkish dishes. The staff were friendly and efficient as we were in a bit of a rush. We shared a chicken shish (which was delicious and freshly cooked) and a starter, which was brilliant for two for a lighter dinner. Our meal also came with some tasty complimentary bread and dips.

They serve the best "Iskender" in Dalston! I would definitely come here from time to time again as the service is always great, the food is always delicious - and most importantly, the portions were big enough for me to take some home. The food is authentic and not too expensive - nothing commercial or overpriced. Would give it 10 stars if i could!

I had my mum's 70th birthday, down stairs it was so amazing, the staff was so helpful and made sure I was happy the whole way through I will have have to book there again as the experience was great. The food was also GOOD. I recommend eating here also planning any type of event thank you to My Party Planner Sully and the other staff members.

Food was good. Atmosphere was good. The service was excellent. Only downside was the Aircon was broken which made it really hot and humid

Had an amazing lamb doner kebab in here just before attending a gig at EartH next door. Good service and amazing food. Can't comment on the atmosphere as it was quite early and not many people in there at that time.

Been here "accidentally". We were waiting for an appointment nearby and went in because the food looked so well. Met very friendly people and had a great meal. Recommended!

Lovely Turkish restaurant, food was really nice. Service was a little slow. Little bit understaffed but was acceptable with the good service. Definitely will be back.

Amazing food, excellent family platter tasting menu, amazing service from waitresses and waiters & chef cooked lovely Türkiye bread and mix salads red cabbage rocket salad tomato lemon carrots, with amazing tomatoes and mint sauce and yoghurt cucumber meze, Lahmacun perfect soft, The platter consists of, Adana kebab, lamb & chicken kebabs, Sheme kebabs, chicken wings, chicken kofte, lamb kofte, chicken lamb donner rice, Turkish bread, sticky rice, chilli peppers. So so tender cooked to perfection reminded me of my holiday in Türkiye My baby had chicken nuggets and chips came first, suggested by the waitress who was amazing Everyone had soft drinks, With the bill came this amazing pistachio sprinkle desert Baklava for the family on a skewer. Delicious well done Istanbul kingsland road….! Easy to travel to the restaurant as is a short walk away from Dalston Junction Station, and many bus routes, 243, 76, 149,

Fabulous food & service!!! Came to enjoy original Turkish food and was very impressed. Service was brilliant 👏. Sim recommended a delicious main course that was to die for. She was very pleasant ☺. Certainly recommend this place if anyone is looking for authentic Turkish food. Only point I would recommend is that the Chefs at the entrance could welcome the guests if there is no reception staff.

One of the best Turkish places I’ve ever been too, the food is absolutely exquisite. The flavours; the tenderness of the meats, chicken and rice. The complimentary starters are lovely and the sauces are very nice. It’s an amazing gem of a place, food will never let you down. The service is absolutely phenomenal, I’ve never experienced such amazing customer service. Honestly would highly recommend. Food is super.

I was invited for breakfast And was very peasantry surprised. The food was great and the staff was very friendly and always smiling. They even came to the table and reminded us when fresh bread came out. I would definitely go again and take my family with me next time.

It's decent basic Turkish food, but certainly not the best Turk in the neighbourhood.<br/><br/>We were brought complimentary bread and tzaziki after ordering mains.  Flatbread was light brown and had been warmed on the grill.  The salad that came with our mains arrived at the same time.  Attractive mix of rocket, chopped tomato, grated carrot and finely sliced red cabbage served with lemon wedges.<br/><br/>My companion's aubergine stuffed with mince arrived quite a bit earlier than my order.  A half baked aubergine filled with lamb mince cooked with tomatoes.  Homely but tasty.  Served with a big dollop of labneh and rice pilau.  My grilled chicken wings were nicely charred but had not been marinated or treated to a spice rub.  Under seasoned too.  Still tender and a big portion of 8 flatlets for £9.50 included a grilled pepper and a grilled half tomato  garnish, some fried flat bread and rice pilau.<br/><br/>It was inexpensive.  A copious lunch for two including a big glass of house red wine and a soft drink came to £23 before service.

It's an ok place but out of all of the turkish places I've been it's not the best. Service is fine and friendly but doesn't tickle my fancy.

Do come here regularly however the visits are slowing down as menus change and favorite dishes reducing. Used to do an amazing hot mushroom starter taken of the menu now. None the less still good food mixed platter always good for 3 people even though its never finshed. Love the soups here very very nice.

Overpriced!. Tiny starters, good quality meat and a mountain of plain rice. All salads, roasted vegs or any other trimmings must be ordered separately.<br/>I possibly visited on the wrong saturday evening at the wrong time but beers came 20 minutes after the starters + I was not impressed with bill over £30 for 2 kebabs and 2 small beers. Grilled marinated meat coming out of the kitchen looked very succulent though so I might give it another chance in future.

Used too come too this resturant a lot mainly because its cheap however I went recently maybe ten of us ( my suggestion) after confiming my order the waiter brings the wrong order (£70 more food than ordered)I told him its not what I ordered he then replied this is what you need!!!! Why??? I never ordered it!! After agueeing he than changes it ( half of the food missing @ this point) slams it down as he brings it so we eat it COLD!! And as we left they slam the door behind us really disgusted never going there again worst treatment I ever had at a resturant!!!
